I should have said, when I am on this step...
Now check that networking is enabled. Run

netstat -tap

It should show a line like this:

tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2008/mysqld

I get...

tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2521/mysqld

Which is different then it says I should get. I do not understand why.

I have read through the ubuntu post and am trying to understand why or if I should do nothing on this step. From your post I believe that you are saying to not do anything with the
mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
command.

So thinking that I should skip that step, I went on.
Now I am on...

We must edit /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf so that Postfix allows PLAIN and LOGIN logins. It should look like this:

vi /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

I get "/usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf" E212: Can't open file for writing

PS... I am not installing this on a 64bit cpu box. Its just a regular old x86 IBM server. I downloaded the correct iso for sure.

You just have a different process ID (PID), that's ok. The output is fine...

Well, your MySQL server is listening on all IP addresses, so you should do this step, but of course, you must replace server1.example.com with your own hostname.

If you are on a normal x86 system, then the file is /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf, not /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf.

Ok, I did not know that was the process id.

I have replaced server1.example.com with my hostname I think. How can I double check? What command would give me the hostname? *edit* I just entered "hostname" and it came up. So I will double check that.
